I've had the chance to have a good rummage through my stash....and have found stuff that I forgot I had!!!!...So, I thought I would mess it all up again, and get a little inky....

Every year I look at Tim Holtz's tags and am amazed at his creativity and inspiration. So this year I'm hoping to play along for the first time each month and be inspired by his arty creations. -oOo- So....here is my version of Tim'sJanuary 2014 tag.

I didn't have some of Tim's supplies, so I used some similar items from my crafty stash, but even if I did it wouldn't of come out exactly the same, because I like to change it up a little bit ;) For the background I have used the 'gathered twigs' distress stain, 'vintage photo' distress ink pad with 'measured' and 'splatters' stencilsI don't have the pocket watch die, so I went with an embossed metal tape arch...I used 'swirls' texture fade to use with the metal foil tape, and I also used 'French connections'-wings texture trades and some gold metal tape to make my little angels (paperwhimsy image) wings. I really like how the metal effect came out...and I've also added a TH corked vial filled with glittery dreams!!It was certainly fun to play along with Tim's 12 Tags of 2014 Looking forward to seeing what Tim inspires us with in FebruaryThanks for PeekingJan x

Oh, these will all definitely be put to good use in some of my crafting projects in the near future!

About Me

Hi I'm Jan from Essex, England.
I’m obsessed with all things arty and creative.
I like to experiment and dabble in lots of different crafts…..
Drawing, painting, cardmaking, scrap-booking, sewing, embroidery, rubber-stamping and I also enjoy altering items… especially vintage baby dresses, matchboxes, tins, canvasses and anything else that I can get my crafty hands on!
I also like to try out new things all the time and different styles, but I find, I'm usually drawn to shabby and vintage at the moment.
